Ping Shan Tang Clan Gallery
The main building of the Old Ping Shan Police Station was built in Yuen Long in 1899 and is one of the few remaining pre-war police stations in the New Territories. It is a two-storey structure enclosed with an arched verandah and has recently been converted into the Visitors Centre of the Ping Shan Tang Clan Gallery cum Heritage Trail.
The Visitors Centre opened in April 2007 and displays valuable exhibits of the Tang Clan, one of the major clans in the New Territories that date back to the 12th century. There are a total of three galleries which comprise:
- The Ping Shan Tang Clan Gallery: this gallery displays various relics belonging to members of the Tang Clan and introduce the Tang Clan's history, customs and cultural life. The exhibits included a bridal sedan chair used in traditional marriages, a phoenix coronet worn by a bride in the 1950s and an embroidered silk birthday hanging that is about 170 years old.
- The Gallery of Ping Shan Heritage Trail: this gallery describes the various historic buildings and monuments which are linked along the heritage trail. This provides a convenient walking route and shows visitors the culture of the local people.
- The Community Heritage Gallery: this gallery displays periodic and special themed exhibitions organised by schools and community organisations on the history and local culture of the New Territories.
